I was thinking the same thing…… you need a Calgon moment for yourself

Just looked out my kitchen window...Kasumi was standing up on Liaras back. Just like standing on her like a perch? When I tried to get mg phone Liara started to walk and Kasumi hopped off. So weird.

Maybe they are planning a career as a Cowboys cheerleader or something similar - practicing their pyramid work?

Now I have Jaffar in with me. Maybe I can make a memory with him. I’m certain that he won’t on me, because he never does that!

Got some new pics, took Sherlock for a walk, washed some dishes, checked dates on last year's moults. Mid October at least for Nellie and Pear (and they look the same, so same moulting pattern, just running a month earlier).

View attachment 3640331Primula is also a mass of pin feathers, looks like a bit ahead of Thing.


View attachment 3640330Nellie, as rumpled as last year, seems a bit perkier though. Pear has done her vanishing act again. Finds a spot to hide from ALL and graze on whatever her food of choice is. Last night, she was the last one back to the coop, at 3/4 dark.

View attachment 3640332And Nox for comparison. She's working on her tail, yet, so resting where she can't be picked on.

View attachment 3640340Pippa is demonstrating the STYLISH moult. Hasnt really started growing pins yet.

View attachment 3640341And a shot of the Invasion with Hector, Primula and Mera. Havoc, Enigma, and Tuff are almost as big as Mera. They still have some filling out to do, though.

Even molting they are pretty birds.

Oh my pigeon is doing much better. She finely opened her eye!

That's great news. I'm glad you found some help!

 

[BY Bob]

Yes! Well, 3 ounces. At least she's not losing.
3 lbs 4 oz this afternoon.
Here she is eating chick grit (and then a little chick feed).

She's been jumping straight up to try to get walnuts faster than I dole bits out, and she may have sprained something, she jumped off the log just now and immediately favored her right leg. Poor girl!
Meanwhile the Spuds find me a great climbing object when I'm crouched doing something!

I like that news. Hopefully Butters has bottomed out.

 

[BY Bob]

That’s a wonderful portrait of her

She is good looking for sure but the new white feathers are coming in and she is going to be spectacular again soon.

Re ear colour - silkies have very blue ear lobes and lay pink eggs

I did not say "always". I said "can".
